Ilene

Ilene is often considered a variant of Eileen, which itself is an Anglicized form of the Irish name Eibhlín. The exact origin of Eibhlín is debated, but it is often linked to the Germanic name Aveline, meaning 'desired' or 'little bird.' The name Eibhlín gained popularity in Ireland and subsequently traveled through migration and cultural exchange to English-speaking countries, where it evolved into variations like Ilene.
